This is because the Department has brought arm's length bodies (ALBs) within the Department over this period, with part of their remit transferring to the Department.

Mortgages: Government Assistance

Stephen McCabe: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer 
	(1)  what proportion of Help to Buy applicants to date were aged 39 and over;
	(2)  how many people have had their application for a Help to Buy mortgage accepted in principle in (a) Birmingham, (b) Birmingham, Selly Oak constituency and (c) the West Midlands;
	(3)  what proportion of applicants to the Help to Buy scheme to date have not been first-time buyers.

Sajid Javid: The Government is committed to making the aspiration of home ownership a reality for as many households as possible. The Government wants current and future generations to experience the benefits of owning their own home, in the same way their parents were able to. Since the financial crisis, larger deposit requirements and falling equity values mean many credit-worthy households cannot get a mortgage, or are trapped in their existing homes unable to take the next steps.
	In the one month since the publication of the scheme rules on 8 October, more than 2,000 people have put in applications to lenders under the Help to Buy: mortgage guarantee scheme totalling £365 million of new mortgage lending. Lenders will submit details of their loans to the scheme when it opens in January.
	More than three quarters of the applicants are first time buyers and many in their early thirties, demonstrating that the Help to Buy: mortgage guarantee scheme is helping hardworking people realise their home-owning aspirations.
	Once the Help to Buy: mortgage guarantee scheme opens in January, the Government will collect data on mortgages covered by the guarantee, and will report in due course.

			 2013 Round 2.1 268 105 
			 2013 Round 2.2 193 (1)37 
			 (1) Offered Notes: 1. There are two recruitment rounds for ST4 per year. Due to the systems the data collection has to be shown in two individual rounds. The systems do not allow the identification of new vacancies therefore it is not possible to add the two rounds together as this would lead to double counting of vacancies. 2. National recruitment opens in November each year with interviews taking place from January into the summer. Posts will be taken up in August, i.e. for recruitment year 2010 national recruitment starts in November 2009, interviews take place from January 2010 through to the summer 2010 and posts will be taken up in August 2010.

	The entry point into emergency medicine changed in 2008 from ST1 to ST4. This explains the increase in the number of ST4 posts available in 2011.

			 (1) The per capita figures are lower for these practices as they have either closed down or merged with other practices. These figures are therefore not comparable to other practices on the list. (2) These centres appear twice on the list as two practices share premises. In 2012-13, these practices received payment under their collective name. (3) NHS England does not have access to records of payments made directly by former primary care trusts to limited companies set up by some practices to manage their business. NHS England has advised that this is likely to be the reason that the per capita expenditure appears to be relatively low for these practices. Source: NHS England.
